My thoughts are that computers should not be seen merely as a tool for writing exams. It should be taken on as a tool for learning, research and communication. This will make the blind student better equipped for the professional World.

The dilution is going to be inevitable. We must look at independence from scribe fetters. Its time big/national NGOS make a mindset change. Individuals will have to be trained for computer based exams. Scribes should be the exception and not the rule. Unfortunately the misuse of scribe is taught by a lot of people and organisations to their young aspirants. Most of us know this. The really deserving Disabled suffer because their own brethren do not want to play fair. Computers soon will get hacked but in the interim this is the solution for many but not all.
